This exclusive itinerary presented by Chan Brothers and Y.E.S. 93.3FM was launched two Sundays ago, and I’m thrilled to know that people signed up on the very first day. Woah! *fist to chest*

It’s summer in June, and I’ve read that temperatures should hover around a comfortable 20 degrees. With a S$1:€1.6 exchange rate (as at this morning), it’s probably the best time to head to Europe, if you’ve never been to this beautiful continent. For repeat visitors, there’s the Floriade 2012- held once every TEN years. And I don’t have to tell you about the shopping in Paris, do I? Hahaha. Join me in Europe this June!
